Old Texas 80 (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design celebrates the history of Texas State Highway 80, showcasing the evolution of its iconic road sign.
Design Elements
The design prominently features three distinct representations of the SH 80 road sign, representing the progression through time.
- 1920s: The earliest sign design features a white background with a black silhouette of Texas, a bold black "80" centered within the outline, and the word "TEXAS" underneath. This style reflects the dawn of numbered highways in the state, symbolizing the state's pioneering spirit.
- 1930s-1940s: Representing the era before 1948, the design includes a black square with a white circle in the center. Inside the circle is the bold black number "80," and the word "TEXAS" is written below. This style reflects a standardized highway system and the importance of road travel during this era.
- Post-1948: The current, familiar design is showcased, using a white rectangle with a black border, a bold black "80" centered, and "TEXAS" written below. This design signifies the modern Texas highway system and its lasting impact on travel.
Meaning and Symbolism
The placement of the three designs side-by-side demonstrates the evolution of Texas' highway infrastructure over several decades. The sign designs are a symbol of Texas' road networks.
The hoodie design is a wearable piece of Texas history, connecting wearers to the evolution of the state's transportation system and road travel.
